Naja’atu reveals Northern plot goading on Tinubu until his health finally fails
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Naja’atu Mohammed has revealed a plot by the Northern oligarchy to replace All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu with his running mate Kashim Shettima after the ticket would have served for a while in the Villa.
Naja’atu resigned as APC Civil Society Organisation Capaign Director on 21 January and has since been lobbying volleys at the APC and Tinubu through all media outlets, saying the man is not fit to be President on both moral and health grounds.
She claimed some Northerners are urging Tinubu to continue his campaign with the plan that Shettima would replace him when his health deteriorates and he becomes incapacitated.
“They just want to push him for them to be the President. It’s not even in his interest,” Naja’atu said, according to reporting by Daily Post.
“Some people from Maiduguri called me today asking, ‘Hajia, why did you do this? You have now punctured our interest. Our son is going to be President, and you’re talking like that?
“After all, look at Tinubu; he cannot do it. We’re all for Kashim. You have not done well for us.”
Naja’atu also claimed President Muhammadu Buhari is not concerned about the economy, security, or who succeeds him.
She said despite briefings from all security agencies, Buhari does not care about the dangers of a Tinubu Presidency, given his health problems.

Naja’atu explains how Tinubu ‘bribed’ Governors to get APC ticket
Naja’atu has laid bare how Tinubu allegedly bribed Governors to click the party’s ticket in the primary held last June.
Naja’atu, 67, wrote in her resignation letter to the APC National Working Committee (NWC) on 21 January she could no longer cope with the “robes that politicians wear to serve their personal needs and interests.”
Three days after her resignation, Team Tinubu riposted on 24 January claiming she was sacked for incompetence and tried to rubbish her without addressing the substance of her allegations, a tactics also used by Muhammadu Buhari’s henchmen.
Naja’atu then doubled down the same day to provide details of her discomfort with Tinubu in an interview with ThisDay.
She alleged Tinubu gave money to Governors to ensure his victory at the APC primary, which she described as “shameful”.
She said Tinubu’s gaffes and blunders in his campaign appearances expose his ill health and incapability to rule Nigeria.
Naja’atu argued Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would have been a better choice and dismissed supporters of Tinubu as greedy and interested only in his bullion van.
“You see, there is nothing like democracy in this democratic system. The whole thing is a hoax. I will tell you for instance what happened in their [APC] primary election.
“People were given ballot papers with Asiwaju [Tinubu] written on it. That was what happened and we saw a clip in which governors were collecting money. It’s so shameful. It’s a disgrace,” she told ThisDay.
“Yes, collecting money, sharing money given to them by Asiwaju. It is such a disgrace. It is the first time that I have heard or seen such. At least in this dispensation,
“I have been in politics for decades, I was born into it. But this is the first time that a presidential candidate will be sponsoring Governors. This is what is happening.”
Tinubu not capable to rule Nigeria
“So, you see Asiwaju is synonymous with money. So, for God’s sake, if all it takes is money, then, what else will he do when he takes over power? It’s for him to retrieve his money,” Naja’atu said, per ThisDay.
“It is not even about Egbe Omo Oduduwa. Osinbajo is even more Egbe Omo Oduduwa than Tinubu. He’s a Professor, he’s brilliant. For the few weeks he was given to govern this country, he did a great job.
“But the Lagos-Ibadan press, they said all sorts of things against him. Tinubu controls the strongest propaganda machine in this country, which is the Lagos–Ibadan press.
“Let me tell you why they are following Asiwaju, they know that he’s incapable.
“They know that he can’t decipher, they know that there is something seriously wrong with his brain. It is like they say in Hausa, somebody will hold the horn, and you will be milking.
“So, all of these people talking all these nonsense know that he’s incapable, know that he’s handicapped, but they also know that he’s already a cabal that they can depend on for the piece of a pie. No more, no less.
“I want to tell you that I have not spoken to anyone, both in or outside APC, from up North, that I know that has told me or that believes Asiwaju is capable. But all they are saying is that you know we have to get something out of it.
“The problem is extreme selfishness.
“All these people that you are talking about are thinking of themselves as individuals, their personal interest; they don’t have the country at heart. That is why I said I have to follow my conscience because I cannot afford … in fact, to be silent is criminal.
“This is my position. Anyone that refuses to talk when they are supposed to talk is either a hypocrite or a coward or both. So, that is why I took the position I took.
“These people that you are talking about, in Hausa, we say they are the plugs from North to South. But they are an insignificant minority and the voice of the generality of Nigerians that they have allowed themselves to be pulled by the nose, some out of ignorance, some out of tribal or religious sentiments.
Muslim-Muslim ticket
“Let me tell you what our prophet said, when they said Muslim-Muslim ticket … because Islam is explicit on the question of leadership. What it says is a chosen atheist is better than an unjust Muslim.
“The first law chosen by God is the law in which Allah himself put on himself. The first law was that if he had denied himself the right to oppress, that is the law and then he went on to say that he had denied injustice within my creation.
“So, what are we talking about, what the hell about Muslim-Muslim [ticket].
“It started the day he made that declaration in Ogun when he said it is his turn. By saying that, it means that Nigeria has become the personal property of some people.
“It is like … you pound the yam now, you cut your own, you eat you own, now it is time to cut my own. That was what he said and that is what he meant.
“I excused that because in life, you have to be patient, you have to use your wisdom.”
